IP connection to matrix

All V-Series panels have a built-in Ethernet/IP interface which can support multiple independent audio channels to an HX Omega, HX Median or HX Delta via an IVC-32 or E-IPA-HX matrix card. When you add a V-Series panel in the EHX Configuration Software, you are prompted to choose the number of additional IP channels that you require, see Adding one extra IP channel. According to your choice, the EHX software automatically provides the V-Series audio mixer with default settings to make configuration as simple and fast as possible. The default mixer settings reflect the typical user scenarios, but you can also manually adjust the mixer settings in the EHX software to customize your system, or for more advanced requirements. See Advanced multi IP channel configurations .

The extra audio channels are typically used to connect to:

• A CCI-22 Interface Module for matrix to 2-wire partyline connections.

• A FOR-22 Interface Module for connecting the matrix to a 2-way radio.

• Headsets. These can be binaural, with or without Push To Talk (PTT).

There are also more advanced options including matrix inputs and mixer control.

There are three connectors on the rear panel of the V-Series panel that can be routed to the matrix via the IP channels. These are labelled:

• Control – this is a DB25 female connector

• Aux Audio – this is a DB25 male connector

• Matrix (Analogue) – this is an RJ-45 connector

Internally, these are represented as EXT0, EXT1 and EXT2. If there is more than one IP channel, EXT0 appears at the Matrix (Analogue) connector at the rear of the panel. When two extra IP channels are added, EXT1 and EXT2 are on the cable assembly used to implement the added IP channels. If there is only one IP channel, EXT1 and EXT2 appear at the Control and Aux.
